3. Find the XML Product Data Feeds section (3rd section from the top)
   
   
4. Click Edit to the right of your XML Feed
   
   
5. Then click Edit Products on the next screen
   
   
   
6. Click the Preview link to the right of your Product Collection
   
   

7. In the preview window, find and copy the catalogGUID number found at the very end of the URL in the address bar as shown below:
   
   https://www.distributorcentral.com/preview/A79F2E33-65FC-4C1B-A0F9-197133B1C608/p/catalog/{{YOUR CatalogGUID NUMBER}}
